The Squier Affinity HSS Stratocaster is a rock guitar for beginners and younger players! Without getting too technical the 'HSS' bit means there's a 'humbucker' pickup on this model, humbuckers are more powerful so they sound rockier! Squier Affinity Series are entry level instruments made by Fender themselves, so what you're getting is not a cheap copy of what the rock stars use: the Squier Affinity Stratocaster HSS is made by the same company that designed the Strat over 50 years ago and have been building them ever since! Squier guitars are renowned throughout the world for unbeatable value, because when it comes to musical instruments just being cheap isn't good enough: but affordable quality is what you get from a Squier by Fender electric guitar!
The Olympic white colour combined with black scratchplate looks the business! High contrast, high power and super modern!
